Big Snake Lyrics - Singles - Lloyd Cole

High tide 

In the cool of the mist 

Walking in the shadows of the trade ships 

I'll be your baby 

I will not be your man 

I will not be around when you call 

Oh Daddy 

I'll be Daddy's little girl 

Black water 

The warm summer rain 

Washes your tears in to the big snake 

Into the ocean 

And your skin is so white under harbour light 

Should you fall I'll be your baby 

Say I'll be daddy's little girl 

Oh Daddy 

I'm all alone now 

Hush little baby 

Don't you cry 

I will sing you a lullaby 

It's high tide 

In the still of your room 

And the big snake's a crawling 

Through the smoke and perfume 

To be your baby 

I will not be your man 

I will be around when you fall 

I'll be your baby 

I'll be Daddy's little girl 

Say it be my Daddy 

I'll be Daddy's little girl 

Oh Daddy 

We're all alone now 

Won't you be my Daddy 

We're all alone now...
